Trip Overview

You will have a nice vacation by doing a lovely, easy hike to Siklish village in the Annapurna region. This is a simple trek that begins in Pokhara (Kalikasthan) and concludes there (Begnas Lake). In the Annapurna foothills, there is a lovely Gurung community settlement called Siklish (also spelled Sikles or Siklesh). Along the way, the stunning scenery this tour offers and the equally rich cultural traditions will wow you. The most memorable sights of the trip are the stunning Annapurna Himalayan range and the walk through a rhododendron woodland. Along the walk, you will pass through a tiny river (the Khola), lovely rice fields (seasonal), and a number of Gurung, Magar, and other settlements. Another well-liked village to visit on this journey is Ghale Gaun.

For those who enjoy viewing the stunning Himalayas and the mid-hill region, this trip is simple and appropriate for travelers of all ages. You will be given tea house (lodge) lodging during the trekking days, and you can book a hotel in the city.
